Purakaunui Falls, The Catlins. New Zealand.

This is arguably the best waterfall we have ever seen & had the pleasure of shooting anywhere in the world! The Purakaunui Falls are a cascading three-tiered waterfall on the Purakaunui River, located in The Catlins in the southern South Island of New Zealand. We wanted to shoot this spot differently, so on went our waders & into the freezing water. While it seemed like a great idea at the time, it was extremely difficult as it was VERY slippery. We fell over on the moss more times than we took images, but it was all worth it!

We opted for a very long exposure to achieve that really silky smooth look to the fast cascading water and with the help of the LEE Polarising & Big Stopper we are really happy how this image has turned out.
